Jus divinum regiminis ecclesiastici: or, the divine right of church-government, asserted and evidenced by the holy scriptures: according to the light whereof (besides many particulars mentioned after the preface) 1. The nature of a divine right is delineated. 2. The church-government: which is of divine right is described. 3. This description in the severall branches of it is duplicated and confirmed. 4. The divine right of ecclesiasticall censures, officers, and ruling assemblies is manifested. In all which it is apparent, that the Presbyteriall government, by preaching and ruling Presbyters, in congregationall, classicall and synodall assemblies, may lay the truest claim to a divine right, according to the scriptures. The second edition corrected and augmented in many places: with a brief reply to certain queries against the ministry of England: and an alphabeticall table to the whole annexed. By sundry Ministers of Christ with the city of London.
